Like.... He is good and all, but I dunno if the Mavs should go about giving him all that money. Near max money for a very solid secondary ballhandler is ehhhhh. I really like Brunson, but this would hamstring the Mavs for a while. Having Luka and JB take up over half the salary cap is very very questionable lmao
I was on the sign JB for no matter what camp just because it could be easy to trade him, but I dunno. Didn't think "no matter what" was going to be near 30 million

Phaze I need y'all in the playoffs next year, should I be hoping Beal stays or goes?
By joefu Go To Postsounding more and more likely that Brunson is leaning towards the Knicks…. but why? I'm so confused. If he does move away from the Mavs, Nico did a smart thing getting Dinwiddie lol. He would move into starting probably and then have THJ come off the bench. Maybe grab Dragic for a ball handler that can play 15 min a game or something.There are a bunch of reasons. He's a local kid, he'd get to play for his father and Godfather, he'd have a larger role, Dallas probably pissed him off by not extending him earlier, but the most important one is that Dallas is in cap hell and has no way of improving their team in the short term outside of moving a potential Brunson contract. He could sign in Dallas and end up in Sacramento by next season.
People are saying 4/110 is what Knicks are trying to offer him. I honestly don't get it lol. Get that bag JB
But why are the Knicks going all in on Brunson is what I don't get. The dude is solid, but I don't understand lmao.
I would get it if it was Kyrie or something

It's not really all in. Guys are out here making 2x that amount. And solid for you might've the best Knicks pg I've seen in my entire life...

Letting him walk for nothing doesn't open up any new doors for the Mavs -- they're hardcapped.

Yeah, but he can sign where ever he wants since he is an UFA. Maybe he'll work something out with the Mavs, but if he wants to leave, there's nothing the Mavs can really do

Plus with the projected jump in the cap in 2025 his contract will be movable next season or thereafter easily.
Honestly Dallas getting a TPE from the Knicks for whatever Brunson's salary is going to be might be the best outcome for them.
By reilo Go To PostDallas can't S&T Brunson to the Knicks.I think it is possible if the Knicks can take him into cap space since they wouldn't need to send any salary back.
By masud Go To PostI think it is possible if the Knicks can take him into cap space since they wouldn't need to send any salary back.He tapped the fucking sign bro
I know the problem with a Randle/Brunson sign and trade was the fact that Dallas is over the cap but if the Knicks don't have to match salaries I'm pretty sure it can be done.
Edit: Yep that article says the only way for Dallas to do a sign and trade for another player would be to involve a 3rd team with cap space. Since the Knicks would have cap space a 3rd team wouldn't be necessary.

10th seed either way probably
By DY_nasty Go To Postwill need a 12-24 hours to copeHow much whisky
actually not as hard as i thought.
disappointed, could do worse. cliff just needs to remember his unconditional faith for lanky, lightskin point guards and not die on the sideline. still the best team he's ever had to coach. guy managed to squeeze every drop out of lifeless rocks like gordon and vucevic, salvaged fultz' career, last rookie he banished to the shadow realm was bamba but even free ppl still don't fuck with him, he'll have his #spacing this time around, no batum sabotage
mike brown almost saved cleveland on the rehire but dion/kyrie/tristan/bynum was too much fukkery for anyone
its not pringles, but he'll die teaching a player pnr defense while atkinson is too pussy to even take an interview. i shall persevere

The truly all-in path would have been to meet Toronto's asking price for Anunoby, which I've heard was a lot higher than just the No. 7 pick. Doing that would have been totally justifiable. Not doing it is also completely defensible. But this choice also ratchets up the pressure Cronin and the front office were already under to build a winner for the tail end of Lillard's prime. The Grant trade was a nice start, but there's work left to do, and opting not to use the biggest trade chip he could have turned into a win-now player limits the ceiling of who he'll be able to get.That explains that one. Oh well.

Their 1998 draft was apparently also a doozy.Bruh
Former Nets executive Bobby Marks on ESPN:John Calipari was on vacation. We didn’t have a first- or second-round pick. We go through the whole draft, and the phone didn’t ring once. When we looked over to the wall, the phone was actually unplugged the whole night. So, when teams are trying to call to make a trade, the phone was not.The John Calipari era in New Jersey really was something.
By masud Go To Post
dudes got a "sorry you wasted a pick I guess" look about him
By DY_nasty Go To Posthe was 1yo when LeBron entered the league. kid was eating boogers while lebron was the best player alive.
lol good for him
By reilo Go To PostBruhMarks actually followed this up on Lowe's podcast by saying that when the Nets went to plug the phone back in, they had calls from the Raptors offering them Marcus Camby.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCongrats dy😂😂😂😂💀
It doesn't sound like the Spurs were shopping Murray as much as teams called about him and they said, "Hey, it would cost a lot." I wonder if San Antonio won't be in on Ayton since they have so much cap space.
By masud Go To Postreasonable price ngl
Fuck Jalen Brunson honestly…
Cam is ass. It was a smart to trade a protected first for him then potentially get value for him from a GM that doesn't realize he's ass.
Cam has good potential, it would be stupid to trade him. Thibs should be fired and quit the desperation for an average pg.
